Just my opinion, but I see it as a battle between good and evil, yes I did say that.
Yeah I said that earlier maybe in another thread. Fundementally it is a spiritual battle, an ideological battle about what is truth and reality and how we should order humans and society. One is about humans being the gods of our own lives and the other about putting God above all. Progressive ideology has gradually moved away from God.
One side wants preserve this nation and its freedoms as founded and one side wants change everything they have not already changed.
It seems a contradiction that progressives who champion DEI would be all for freedoms, allowing everyone to be free regardless of race and gender and a bunch of other identities. But thats the contradiction of the ideology and its incoherence. It shoots itself in the foot.
By viewing the world through identity groups humans are divided and pitted against each other based on different worth attached to identity. Its like a self fulling prophesy. By making everything about identity such as race and gender the identities become all that is important. But that is unreal and bound to clash and cause chaos.
What ends up happening is society becomes less free and bound up in a ever increasing list of do's and dont's. What some call PC or Woke.
Whereas as you mentioned the fundemental freedoms we built free nations on was the idea of humans being made in Gods image with dignity, worth and natural inalienable rights like freedom of volition regardless of race, religion and gender ect. So identity woke politics actually denies our volition by reducing us to the sum of our identities. Thus binding us in our identities and losing the true self and individual worth.
We are becoming more like Europe and that is not a good thing. Liberalism as promoted by many politicians will only lead to the loss of freedoms and rights guaranteed by our constitution and bill of rights. Both sides claim democracy is at stake but only one side is on the right side of that issue.
Europe is a hotpot of many cultures. But you are right that fundementally the same thing seems to be happening across many nations. I think more within Christian nations. The Islamist conflicts are for different reasons but have similarities in that theres a movement to topple governments and take power based on opposing ideology.
The climate has become heated on both sides. It seems the insistence of PC woke ideology and CC has caused an equal and opposite reaction where extreme Right wing ideology is being pushed back. Its a powder keg all over the world. If its not the middle east its within our own nations.
I remember the west use to look from afar at such terror and violence overseas. Now its growing on our doorsteps. A perfect storm of discontent. Nothing to unite us.
Any eyes wide open person who truly looks at the facts should be able to discern which side that is, but liberal propaganda seems to have consumed way to much of our population. Trump is the only one running for President who has a shot at making this country great again.Kamala is an empty suit puppet of the left which would result in ruin for this country if elected. Just consider she is running for President without having received one primary vote. That is not democracy and she will not protect democracy and freedom.
Yes I think many are waking up to the incohrence of Leftist ideology. Whether its too late for this round we will have to wait and see. Its strange that they go with an even more radical Leftist in Harris rather than a true moderate.
I think the minders and elites worked out that it was too late to vet anyone and just went with Harris. The problem is that she was a political appointment in the first place so not vetting her compounded the deception. It meant that a highly unqualified and deserving candidate got the job over someone more qualified and deserving.
Now their running around trying to plug the holes in the leaking ship.
I think Trump despite not being the ideal candidate is closer to protecting the basic freedoms and truths that made the west free.
Its a strange and interesting time in world politics. It now seems that its more than just politics but a clash of worldviews that is at stake. I think covid contributed to the mindset, the anxiety which makes it more personal. But playing identity politics has evolved into the metaphyical and society and the world is having breakdown and developing a identity disorder lol.
